First of all. let us bear in mind what the situation behind this resolution is. A bill is pending in this Congress known as the "Kerr bill". which has been reported out by the committee. and which. if passed. will legalize the status of these 2.600 people involved in this resolution.. If the Kerr bill is defeated their status will not be legalized and they will be deported. What does the pending resolution do? It simply states that before the Kerr bill is voted on. before this appeal to Congress is voted up or downand I mean by " appeal" the Kerr billthat you shall not execute the "death sentence" of deportation upon these people regarding whom we are going to legislate in the next session of Congress. That is all this resolution does. It simply asks that the execution of the sentence be held up until the Congress of the United States has adopted a definite policy with reference to these 2.600 people. This Congress has not had the opportunity to deal with the Kerr bill. If the Kerr bill passes. these 2.600 people will not be deported. Therefore. why not hold up deportation until Congress passes on that bill? I appeal to you. Is not this a sporting proposition?
